Data from WilliamBay, Danmarks Damplokomotiver (1977) and the Jernbanen.dk website at [], last accessed 2 June 2015. See also Bent Hansen, "Braysseys lokomotiver i Danmark mv.", posted 26 June 2020 in the Jernbanehistorisk forum on the Jernbanen,dk website at [], last accessed 1 January 2024. According to Bent Hansen's research, the works numbers were 108-111 in 1862; 112, 150 in 1863, 151-152 in 1864, 176-181 in 1865 and 194-195, 208-211 in 1866.
The Danish language website translated by Google explains that this batch came from England as the first motive power for the Arhus-R railway (Hansen says Jutland-Funen). The layout was standard British except for the prominent display of Stephenson gear between the two plates of the double frame and actuating slide valves on top of the sloped pistons.
The first eight engines had two-piece cylinder pistons held in place by the piston rings, which were tensioned with wedges. The latter twelve used single-piece cast-iron "Swedish" pistons that had six narrow grooves, each of which was only 6 mm wide for steel piston rings. Lack of durability led to regrinding the cylinders so that only two cast-iron rings were required
In 1867, the Jydsk-Fyenske-Jernbaner (JFJ) took over the railway and these engines. The Franco-Prussian War two years later caused coal prices to jump, so one of the class was modified to burn peat. A large spark-arresting stack was a prominent result, but the railway didn't operate it on peat for very long. The class received its A class designation in 1878, but withdrawals started in 1883 and were completed in 1888.
